While catering is still on the menu at Ashley’s Culinary Cre-
ations, the new brick and mortar allows for the creation of every-
day fare. The chefs have created a new healthy dine-in/take-out
menu and a meal prep service for those who are looking for fresh,
fast, healthy food.
Included on each meal is a list of ingredients, calories, and
macronutrients which highlight carbohydrates, fat, and protein
calculations. Every recipe was cooked and proportioned alongside
a licensed nutritionist for accurate reporting.
The meals reflect diverse diets, lifestyles, and allergens and
there are several rotating dishes for people who practice keto, lean
and clean, and gluten free eating while also serving up plates that
appeal to the masses under her “Family” section of the prepared
foods. Meals featuring familiar foods for the pickiest of eaters in-
clude chicken alfredo, pulled pork with cornbread and veggies and
classic steak with potatoes to name a few.
The cooler also offers a Greek salad with fresh spring mix, feta,
pepperoncini, cucumber, olives, and pita along with chicken salad,
pasta salad, and lettuce wraps.
When asked which meal prep dishes are her favorite, Ashley
picked the “Egg roll in a Bowl” but then changed her mind to
Greek chicken
and cous cous
the keto gnocchi. The prosciutto chicken was mentioned and the
stuffed peppers.
They all stand out for different reasons and she finds delight
in each bite. “I want to make healthy eating accessible to all people
but I also want it to be delicious. I want that for my customers
because I want that for myself,” remarked Ashley.
While Ashley is the maestro behind the meals, she is also open
to listening to her customers and “seeing what people like.
Ashley’s Culinary Creations’ role in the community can also
be seen in its partnership with local farms such as McCollum Or-
chards in Lockport and Local Roots Farm in Burt, New York. Ash-
ley declares, “Our goal is to be all local someday. Shopping small
and local is how we all stay alive. When it’s grown from a small
farm, you feel connected to that food,” she said.
Customers can order online at ashleysculinarycreations.com
or visit the cafe to see the breakfasts, lunches, and dinners that
are stocked and ready for purchase. The menus rotate each week,
offering dozens of plates to choose from each month.
